About the Project

This browser-based patient registration application allows patients to upload their details along with their scanned photo while being at their homes. On the patient's arrival at the hospital, only facial recognition is sufficient as registration information is already there in the app database. Face recognition at hospital also ensures that the patient is personally present and so token cab be issued for queuing outside the relevant room. This little solution can save substantial time at the registration desk, thereby improving the overall efficiency and reduce patient's sufferings.

There are 3 major features of the application -

1. Patient Registration from home based on personal details, aadhar card and a scanned photo
2. Patient check-in at the hospital using face recognition
3. Hospital administration's option to view the registration data

2. On Submit, the application validates if Aadhar number exists in the database, in that case, gives an error message
3. If the Aadhar number does not exist, checks if the photo uploaded is proper, then uses Azure Face API to create a person id corresponding to the face in the image. All relevant details are then stored in the database and a success message is shown to the user

Module - Patient Checkin

1. During hospital check-in the patient (user) has to cpature his photo using the webcam.

2. Once picture is clicked, it shows on the right hand side, and then click on Submit to compare
